AGP Pro
It is an official extension for cards that required more electrical power. It is a longer slot
with additional pins for that purpose. AGP Pro cards were usually workstation-class
cards used to accelerate professional computer-aided design applications employed in
the fields of architecture, machining, engineering, simulations, and similar fields.
64-bit AGP
A 64-bit channel was once proposed as an optional standard for AGP 3.0 in draft
documents, but it was dropped in the final version of the standard.
The standard allows 64-bit transfer for AGP8 reads, writes, and fast writes; 32-bit
transfer for PCI operations.
Unofficial variations
A number of non-standard variations of the AGP interface have been produced by
manufacturers

Actual power supplied by an AGP slot depends upon the card used. The maximum
current drawn from the various rails is given in the specifications for the various
versions. For example, if maximum current is drawn from all supplies and all voltages
are at their specified upper limits, an AGP 3.0 slot can supply up to 48.25 watts; this
figure can be used to specify a power supply conservatively, but in practice a card is
unlikely ever to draw more than 40 W from the slot, with many using less. AGP Pro
provides additional power up to 110 W. Many AGP cards had additional power
connectors to supply them with more power than the slot could provide.
Connector pin out
The AGP connector contains almost all PCI signals, plus several additions. The
connector has 66 contacts on each side, although 4 are removed for each keying notch.
Pin 1 is closest to the I/O bracket, and the B and A sides are as in the table, looking down
at the motherboard connector.
Contacts are spaced at 1 mm intervals; however they are arranged in two staggered
vertical rows so that there is 2 mm space between pins in each row. Odd-numbered Aside contacts and even-numbered B-side contacts are in the lower row (1.0 to 3.5 mm
from the card edge). The others are in the upper row (3.7 to 6.0 mm from the card edge).
